ALLOPURIC 

Allopurinol (100mg) is a medication commonly used to treat conditions caused by an excess of uric acid in the body, particularly gout and kidney stones. Here's some information about Allopurinol:

• Mechanism of Action: Allopurinol works by inhibiting the enzyme xanthine oxidase, which is involved in the production of uric acid. By blocking this enzyme, Allopurinol reduces the production of uric acid in the body, thereby lowering blood uric acid levels and preventing the formation of uric acid crystals in joints and kidneys.

• Dosage: The usual starting dose of Allopurinol for adults is 100 mg to 300 mg per day, taken orally in one or multiple doses. The dosage may be adjusted based on the patient's response to treatment and the severity of the condition being treated.

• Indications: Allopurinol is primarily used to treat gout, a type of arthritis caused by the buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is also used to prevent recurrent kidney stones caused by high levels of uric acid in the urine.
